Evidence Show That Trans Healthcare Saves Lives

Down in Texas, parents are being fired and investigated for supporting the transition of their trans kids. (Note that "transitioning," for children, simply means clothing and hair styles. No one is "chopping off" anything, no matter what the Right Wing Noise Machine claims.) 

"It's science!" the "gender critical" bigots bleat.

But the science is clear. 

We conducted a systematic literature review of all peer-reviewed articles published in English between 1991 and June 2017 that assess the effect of gender transition on transgender well-being. We identified 55 studies that consist of primary research on this topic, of which 51 (93%) found that gender transition improves the overall well-being of transgender people, while 4 (7%) report mixed or null findings. We found no studies concluding that gender transition causes overall harm. As an added resource, we separately include 17 additional studies that consist of literature reviews and practitioner guidelines.

I fully expect bigots to ignore these findings, since -- for them -- the important thing is not to "protect the children," but to reinforce their hateful worldview.
